EverQuest II Kingdom of the Sky launches

With the patch today, several major changes have taken place in EverQuest II. First we have the launch of the new expansion, Kingdom of the Sky. Kingdom of Sky pushes the boundaries of character development and adventure to new heights. An entirely new form of advancement introduces a structured Achievement system of skills and abilities to further specialize and individualize your character, while level caps for characters, artisans and guilds are all increased. Kingdom of Sky expands the arena challenges with four deadly new arena champions and two new arena zones. Ten new adventure zones, from lush jungles to temples of unimaginable splendor, 25 new enemies and troves full of new treasures all open up fresh game play and visual experiences within the online world of EverQuest II.

The second major development today is sure to change the way EverQuest II is played as well. PvP combat has gone live. PvP ruleset serves are available and people are already lining up. If you are one of those that have never tried a PvP server, I would suggest you check it out, it is more fun than you might think! Read the full patch notes at the link below.
